"No matter how old you are, continuing your education develops new cells in brain areas used for learning and forms new brain connections to protect against diseases like Alzheimer's disease and stroke. Plus, taking college classes gives opportunities to form new relationships, also known to protect our aging brains."

- Dr. Barbara Curchack, Dean of Liberal Arts at Inver Hills and former neuropsychologist

Take a course for credit

If there is space available in any course, seniors can enroll and pay only $20 per credit in administration fees plus student fees, minus the Student Life fee. Senior registrations are taken starting the second day of each semester. See current fees here.

Senior Citizens are also responsible for any additional materials or personal property charges for credit courses or audit courses.

Audit a course

If a senior wants to "audit" a course – which means attending but not taking tests, being graded or earning college credit – there is no administration fee. Auditing students will be charged student fees, minus the Student Life fee.

Students auditing a class must still attend and participate as required by the instructor. See current fees here.

Senior Citizens are also responsible for any additional materials or personal property charges for credit courses or audit courses.
